Looking for a Good shop in Montgomery county/Philadelphia - PA area to do a gear swap

[Purvis]

Long story short.
I have had 3.73 gears done on my 2008 GT500 3 times by a local reputable shop, and all 3 times, the car came back with noticeable gear whine. This is not my first gear swap on a Mustang by any means, and I know to expect a little noise, but this is not acceptable.

If any of you had had sucess with a shop in the Philadelphia area installing Gears into a GT500, please let me know. I live in Huntingdonvalley..

Please limit the reposnses, to actual positive experiences with local Gear swaps on GT500's.. Dont forget to include contact info for the shop..

Thanks alot! :beer:

Live in Pottstown myself, so not terribly far from you, though I've had refrence a mustang tunner in town "Performance Specialties" more here:

Performance Specialties Home Page

I personally do not know them, but I have interest in speaking with them. An acquaintance who runs a Roush 427R has spoken with the shop's proprietor and seems to think that they are worth the time.

A bit ago I was seeking a dyno and ended up at a Corvette/Camaro/GTO tuner in West Chester. I simply use his dyno as the runs are 65 bucks for three pulls. Not sure what Performance Specialties charges, but I'd like someone local that I can fall back on for mods, etc of my 2012 GT500

Hope that helps..

Performance specialties in Pottstown? Great shop and great dyno.
I go way back with that shop, and the owner.
They are good at Gear swaps. They did a few swaps for me, back in the 90's for my 87 GT and my 94 GT.
However, I wasnt sure how much expereince they have had with the GT500's in particular, and since there seem to be so many peculiar aspects of the GT500 installs, I was trying to find someonbe who has had successful instals on actual GT500's.

It's an 8.8 SRA nothing special for the GT500 as per gear swap. Have a Ford dealer do it. If it whines then they have to swap it under warranty.

That is a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm relatively new to performance cars, and Mustangs in particular. Anyhow wish I could help more. But thanks for the lowdown on that vendor.

Chuck at Evo has done more of these than most people I know. Give Fred a call and speak to him or ask for Chuck and talk to him about it. Sure, Evo and Revan are competitors in the market place but if I was local to Evo and needed gears installed I wouldn't hesitate to have them install my gears.
